I was at my wits end trying to house train my puppy, but after following the dog trainers instructions, he is much better now! And getting better every day.

There are many ideas that have been helpful. Would highly recommend this training to everyone. Anything to make life simpler and less frustrating for me and my pet.

Sally is really good and understanding of our wants & needs training our little Leo. She answered every concern we had and explained in detail how to properly train our puppy. She really knows how to put things in a way that we fully understand what we need to do and to be patient.

My experience with TrainPetDog has been very helpful and informative. I have used their material to learn how to train my 14 week old Maltese dog. She (Sunni) has been a bit of a handful since I've had her since she was 8 weeks old. The potty training has been a challenging experience. Sunni had been used to training pads. I personally don't use these because I believe they teach them to potty in the house. Sunni still uses the potty in the house at times but has been doing better since we have been taking her outside. The training material and the trainer, that is available, has helped me to use certain commands, potty and business to teaching, her to go outside. The program is very good at helping dog owners to teach them the necessary training for them to become joyful pets.

Signed up for free news letter, was billed $5 and paid via PayPal. Received complete crap. Clicked on unsubscribe. PayPal, which I used to pay the $5, was billed and paid them $37 from my bank account, to reocurr monthly. I did not authorize this. Not sure what to do. If this isn't fraud I don't know what is. DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THESE PEOPLE!

Nancy Richards, or whoever she is, has been making me all kinds of promises to help me train my pet Italian Greyhound. She says Iggies are different, but Im sure you already know that, and need different training. You really need to get inside their heads! To see what makes them tick and we can teach you to have a perfectly trained dog and some great tricks to show off to your friends
It was rather unnecessarily Wordy, and some of the phrase sounded like theyd been badly translated from Chinese into English. That made me suspicious. They were not who they were pretending to be.
Another thing that raised my suspicions was the great announcements about how safe your credit cards would be. They said their security was great! Very Safe! Or something similar. That raised alarm bells in my head,
Bona Fide companies dont need to tell us that, as we usually know a bit more about the companies we are dealing with.
I became very scared to give these clowns my credit card details, and will definitely not do so.
I do quite a bit of buying on the net and all the firms I deal with I believe are very good, so I have no hesitancy in dealing with them by credit card.
But this one -- LOOK OUT!
Nancy Richards has been emailing me for weeks, and the offers get cheaper and cheaper. Instead of $37US I can get the course free, for a limited time. All they want me to do is buy a dog grooming book for my Italian Greyhound at $4.99 for packing and handling. I thought that if this keeps getting cheaper they will be paying me to take it away! Then I knew, they just want my credit card details! How stupid do they think we are, and yet I have been reading Nancys Blurbs for two weeks. Oh Help! She has my email address.
What I was suspicious about was when they asked for the $4.99 for the silly book. I mean, why would an Italian Greyhound need a grooming book? His hair is so short, and a single coat, there is practically no coat to brush! (but he loves a nice massage). I also got alarm bells when they talked about some Italian Greyhounds having a bit of a longer coat. Pedigree Iggies, do not have thicker coats. Maybe the ones Nancy has seen have been crossbreds. No, Ive got that wrong! Im beginning to think they have never even seen a real Italian Greyhound.
Get these people out of our cyber-space please?

Bad Shih Tzu manual
April 17, 2009

Bad Shih Tzu manual - I purchased their manual on how to train Shih Tzu. I recieved a manual on things already known and things are just rediulous as well.
I payed $37.00 for this and then ithe site signed me up without even telling me to another site for a montly fee.
I have called, emailed and everything to try and stop this and you just can't get a hold of anyone.
I received my bank statment and the $37.00 came out Along with a currency exchange fee.
Come to find out it is not located in California but in fact an untraceable location over seas.
This site should be shut down in my opion.
